It has been a crazy week with Lukas being home ALL week super sick with fever and cough and not seeming to get better. I also started a part time job as a waitress at a fancy pants country club up the street (feels like I'm going in a different job direction than I intended, but actually the hours are perfect for us and I feel like God blessed us like crazy to fill in the financial gap we needed to). Lastly, we got a rescue dog today. A number of things let to this decision and though we felt good about the dog we chose (and heartbroken about Molly dog's story), we were still nervous to pick her up today. The kids have been counting the days and it really was an amazing scene. Molly traveled 3 days in a trailer to get to us, along with loads of other dogs from other rescue groups. It was pretty cool to see people united with their pets - some dogs excited, some dogs scared - all of them hungry, tired, and thirsty. Molly is a small lab mix 8 month old girl who is super sweet, but definitely a bit timid and definitely needing training (but seems already very trainable). She sat in my and Adam's lap for comfort quickly and warmed up to the kids. Before we knew it, she was playing all over the house with Adelaine or snuggling and sleeping with sick Lukas. I'm nervous to be a dog owner, but we feel super grateful to have found a great dog.
